Description

This tiny elephant is making an elephant sized statement; telling all to use plant ivory and not his tusks to make our artwork. This beautiful little carving is made from the tagua nut, commonly called palm ivory or plant ivory. The old leather box is called an elephant box. The deep colors and worn textures of this interesting box makes a suitable backdrop for the smooth, glossy surface of the little elephant.
